Religious cleansing in Jos

7th March 2011

Whilst there is unquestionably a background of political and economic struggle for land ownership, the attacks by Hausa-Fulani Muslims against ethnic Plateau Christians have been intentionally prolonged as a front for Islamist expansionism.  The violence has been fuelled by some politicians and members of the security services who by abandoning civilians to the terror of these attacks are complicit in the genocide. 

At a meeting on 28 December 2010 in Bauchi, Jos, Hausa-Fulani Muslim Elders resolved that “Muslims in the State shall ensure that a few months before the general elections, Jihad will be declared in the State which cannot be controlled even by security agencies, with great slaughter and massacre, which the Federal Government will have no option than to declare a State of Emergency in Plateau”.

Indigenous Muslims have no choice but to support the violence or else be attacked as anti-Islam.

With the Government to its shame having indulged Islamist rioters for so long, most parts of northern Nigeria are now occupied with murderers and assassins. Boko Haram has become established, with Maiduguri and other parts of the North East now in their grip.  And with 330 houses of Christians now torched in Jos, and the subsequent killings on January 8-9, Jos North has effectively become an exclusively Muslim settlement.    

Fear and despair abound whilst the Government continues to demonstrate its lack of resolve in protecting its people.

Stefanos Foundation has compiled various lists of missing persons and reports documenting the attacks.
